One problem is that the people left in C++ have avoided going 
with either Java, C#, or any of the new native languages. The 
population that said no those AND to the newer native languages 
skews towards very conservative choices. As such no language seen 
as "alternative" enter their worldview because "only C++ can do 
it".

Even if you compete with them, the C++ competition will still 
won't believe there are alternatives to C++. In the real world, 
starting a C++ codebase today is much less cost-effective than in 
D, and this debt cause a lot of dividend payments, and also it 
costs a lot of senior C++ engineers to make sense of the most 
complicated programming language we have.

The only way is to displace the incumbent not convince them.
